Therapists in Colorado Springs, CO

At Bright Space Counseling we offer compassionate care and one of our main goals is to provide a safe place to explore the issues you are facing. We offer services to children, adolescents and adults. Our schedule is flexible; we offer day, evening and Saturday appointments. We would love to talk to you about your current struggles and how we can help you.

Are you feeling in a funk? Struggling with the stress of life pre or post-pandemic? Do you feel like your marriage is hurting from poor communication or drifting apart over the years? Do you want to feel like you can manage your anxiety? As a therapist, my goal is to help you deepen your understanding of the problem. Understand how and why it exists, and then implement ways to help you feel growth. I want to help you make the changes that you see as important. I want to help you lay a new foundation of living that makes you feel empowered and in control.

Trapped. Anxious. Worried. Out of Control. Done. You smile and participate in your daily activities, but really you’re just trying to get through the day. You have racing, intrusive thoughts that you cannot seem to ignore. You want to move forward. You want to work on these things, but a part of you cannot seem to stay on the horse. Perhaps your fear gives you a sense of comfort and routine, yet you know that this is unhealthy. Let’s gear up and battle this together. Are you ready?

Have you been stressed or anxious about something, and / or sad at the same time? Most of my clients have anxiety related to something in this world these days and sometimes depressive symptoms accompany that. I can help you move through difficult feelings, improve your relationships, and change unhelpful patterns that you are stuck in. I listen without judgement and give you a safe space to share openly, using a Strengths-Based / Empowerment perspective. I’ll help you discover heathy traits and skills that you already possess, while helping you to learn new skills to cope with current circumstances.

Are you feeling generally dissatisfied in life right now? You've navigated your way through some anxiety and depression over the years but now you feel stuck...maybe a bit burnt-out. You want life to FEEL good again and you're ready for some real lasting change. You have some awareness of why you're feeling the way you are, but something doesn't quite add up. Some familiar struggles might include perfectionism, being/feeling present, anxiety, confidence, people pleasing, relationships/relationship satisfaction, comparison to others, work-life balance/dissatisfaction with work/lack of clarity about work, fatigue and motivation.

Seeking therapy is a deeply personal endeavor, and I understand the importance of finding a therapist you truly connect with. My approach to therapy is rooted in client-centered and strengths-based principles, ensuring that you remain in control of your journey and empowered to dictate its direction. I deeply respect your experiences and aspirations, and I am committed to guiding you towards realizing your goals. Together, we can navigate through feelings of anxiety, depression, enhance your relationships, and break free from patterns that feel confining; building skills and confidence along the way.

Life is challenging and it can be difficult trying to navigate the ups and downs of life without support. It can feel overwhelming and hopeless especially when you, your child and/or family is struggling. You are not alone. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I really enjoy working with teens, families, and individuals to help process through all of the emotions experienced through out life's challenges.

Let me pour you a cup of tea or coffee, and let’s talk. Many perceive therapy as missing the opportunity to truly connect with the therapist as real people. It often feels like a professional exchange rather than a personal interaction. I’m here to guide you toward solutions and personal transformation. Let’s make this process both effective and enriching. Reaching out to a therapist might feel daunting, but I encourage you to pause, take a deep breath, and make that call. I’m here to assist. My greatest passion is cultivating healing and hope for individuals who have been or are undergoing traumatic/stressful experiences.

Have you ever felt that you’re not living the life that you could be? Things like anxiety, depression, trauma and stress affect our ability to live vibrantly. Being able to move your life in a more positive direction is my greatest joy as a Licensed Professional Counselor. It would be my privilege to support you in this journey.

Mindful Connections offers individual, couples, family and group counseling for a variety of concerns. Whether clients are simply struggling with everyday life changes or managing significant mental health concerns, MCMH can help! Our providers work with clients as young as 6 years old. The variety of modalities and focuses offered by our providers ensures we can address the concerns of our unique clients from multiple perspectives, creating a safe, comfortable environment that truly assists in meeting collaboratively established goals through interventions clearly outlined and agreed upon between client and provider.

The desire I have for my clients is for them to thrive instead of just surviving. Starting a counseling journey is a courageous and important step towards thriving. My goal is to walk along side my clients inside a safe, trusting, and collaborative relationship. I have an integrative approach to therapy which is focused on what my client needs in order to come to a long-term place of healing. In this counseling space, you have the opportunity to process past trauma, deal with anxiety, combat depression, and handle life's day to day struggles. The space I create is accepting and void of judgement.

I look forward to helping you with anxiety, depression, abuse, trauma, narcissistic abuse and the stress that life can throw at us! Sometimes, the story that we want to tell can be incredibly difficult to discuss or process. If you have anxiety, difficulty talking, or want to try something new, art therapy is perfect for you to come in and say as much or as little as you want and still receive the treatment and care you deserve. Many times, we struggle to find the words to describe certain emotions or events that have occurred. Art therapy can also help us discover things that we could not process only through talking.

In the process of learning to love yourself, your body, and others there is no such thing as setbacks. What we think is a setback is a growing point, a learning point to lead us further in our relationship with ourselves and others. I would love to work with you navigating those areas of growth, while also seeing the strengths you already possess. It takes such courage to start looking for help. I will seek to empower you in this process and allow for healing and change.

Our mission at Heartspace Kids is to support the healthy social and emotional development of children, teens, and young adults through counseling, coaching, and education. We provide the highest quality of service to empower our young clients to live happy, healthy, and productive lives.

Parents- this is a challenging and uncertain time. If you are struggling or your child/teen is struggling, please reach out. I am passionate about empowering children and teens to live their best life. I specialize in stress management, anxiety reduction, ADHD, social skills, bullying and aggression, emotional regulation, impulse control, executive functioning, personal strength and empowerment, self-esteem, positive body image, growth mindset, grief and loss, mindfulness and meditation, resiliency, and more.

I have enjoyed working in Colorado Springs as a therapist for the past 20+ years with both individuals and group counseling. We all experience emotional pain, physical pain or a combination of the two at different times in our lives. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to establish a collaborative effort with my clients to modify beliefs, assumptions and behaviors with the goal of solving emotional and behavioral problems. This approach is helpful for children, adolescents and adults. It is used to treat (but not limited to) depression, anxiety, stress related disorders and symptoms related to trauma.

Sometimes, we find ourselves buried under challenging life circumstances. When this happens, we are left with three options: remain stuck and undecided, fight through, wounded and bitter, or emerge stronger, wiser and more resilient. I love coming alongside clients who feel they are without hope, and helping them find their inner strengths to emerge resilient. I have experience working with trauma, grief, PTSD, pain management, postpartum depression, chronic medical conditions, OCD, substance use, ADHD, depression, anxiety, bi-polar, and marriage and family issues.

Do you long to be valued, heard, understood, and listened to by a caring professional who can provide insightful and constructive feedback? Are you concerned about changes in your life or the lives of those around you? Have you tried therapy before, only to be disappointed by the results? Do you struggle with relationship issues within your family, marriage, or career that seem impossible? Are you looking for a safe and reliable space to process events that cause depression, anxiety, trauma, or grief?

I believe in change. If you are reading this most likely you do, too. Allow me to assist you to find hope, emotional growth, and healing during these difficult circumstances. I help my clients to find ways to live satisfactorily and meaningfully, through the acquisition of skills that allow them to overcome fears and life challenges. My clients learn to manage unpleasant bodily sensations and intrusive thoughts. They adopt new ways of thinking and modify unhealthy behaviors.
